The hotel opened in 1986 as the Mandarin Oriental, San Francisco. In February 2015, the hotel was sold to Loews Hotels[4] and renamed the Loews Regency San Francisco.[5] In May 2019, Loews sold the hotel to investment company Westbrook Partners.[6] The hotel closed for renovations at the end of 2019,[7] and the Four Seasons Hotels group assumed management, renaming it "Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco at Embarcadero" (although the Embarcadero runs several blocks away from the building).[6] The hotel was originally set to reopen on May 1, 2020,[8] but the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic forced the opening to be postponed to October 1, 2020.[9] As the pandemic quickly worsened, the newly opened hotel soon closed again, on December 20, 2020.[10] It reopened on June 16, 2021.[11]
